Hello all.
This is my first post. I've been lurking for a few weeks now. I have had social anxiety and atypical depression since my teen years, I guess that makes it about 20 years! I started klonopin and Paxil a few years ago on my own (online ordering, ain't it great!). Anyway, the klonopin is a life saver for SA, but the paxil cr didn't help much with depression at low dosages, and, at higher dosages I felt more anxious and generally bad. I recently started seeing a Psych...I guess that's my Pdoc?? Anyway we tried lexapro w/ the klonopin and the lex was terrible for me. I spent a month on the lex. The agitation, and insomnia were intolerable(I can usually tolerate meds pretty well). We (I:)) decided to try Remeron w/ the clonaz. Heavy sedation at first, but, I understand it passes. Love the sleep anyway. Might add Effexor later for some morning "activation" later. Anyone in a similar boat?? Looking foward to similar experience.
